• Kansas City-based Community Grocers is reopening a store next week in the Crossroads neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri, that now will be equipped with the Just Walk Out technology pioneered in Amazon Go stores, allowing shoppers to exit the store without having to go through a traditional checkout.
The store also is equipped with Amazon One technology, which permits customers to link their palms to a payment system, and then enter the store just by holding their palms over a scanner.
While Amazon has licensed the technology to a variety of third party businesses, ranging from airport newspaper stands to sports and entertainment facilities, this is said to be the first time Amazon is allowing the tech to be used in a grocery store other than one of its own.
